Newton’s 1st Law
Bodies in motion
tend to remain in motion.
Bodies at rest tend to
remain at rest
Force
An action or influence on
an object that produces or
prevents motion, or has a
tendency to do so
Internal force
Muscles and other
anatomical structures
External force
weights, braces,
therapist’s hands, gravity,
etc
objects movement (force) depends on…
Amount of force
Inertia
Mass
Friction
Qualities of Force
magnitude of direction
what represents qualities of force
vector (arrow)
Resultant Force
two or more forces acting on an object, the resultant
force, and therefore the movement of the object, is a
combination of the two forces.
concurrent force
creates resultant force
ex) gluteus medias
ex) Maureen and i pulling a rope to propel Brooklyn forward.
formula for finding torque
torque = force x length of lever arm
longer moment arm =
more torque
torque
force that produces rotation of a body segment around a relatively fixed axis.
Torque in Physiology…
If the biceps muscle pulls with 12 lbs of force, and
the insertion of the muscle is 2 inches from the axis
of rotation, then the torque produced is:
1/6 ft x 12 lbs = 2 ft*lbs
Lever arm: 2 inches or 1/6 ft
Force: 12 pounds
axis=elbow
biceps flexion=force
resistance=weight of forearm and hand
Muscles that pull superiorly or laterally to the axis of rotation…
Muscles that pull inferiorly or medially to the axis of rotation..
Muscles that rotate body part internally…
Muscles that rotate body part externally…
force couples
muscles act together to produce rotational movement by acting in equal and opposite directions, resulting in a single rotational movement
ex) screwing on a jar/water bottle lid
force couples in the shoulder…raising your arm
as you abduct your arm the deltoid generates an outward and upward force on the humerus. the infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis counter this by generating a downward and inward force to keep the humerus in socket and stabilize the joint.
Simple Machines
pulleys and levers
pulley
change the direction of a force.
With a simple pulley, you pull
down, and the object goes up.
patella pulley
The patella, or knee cap,
acts as a pulley for the
muscle of the knee.
It changes the direction of
the pull of the muscle…
BUT, it also adds a
mechanical advantage to
the muscle.
It increases the lever arm of the
extensor mechanism, and thus
increase quadriceps strength by
up to 33–50%.
It increases the moment
arm, which in turn
increases torque
production
lever
increase force or
torque.
moment arm
the perpendicular distance from an axis to the line of action of a force
First class lever
Axis is located
between the force and
the resistance.
Ex: See-saw
F-A-R
F-A-R
first class lever
1st class levers in the human body
head on cervical
vertebrae. Muscles on one
side pull to maintain head
position, weight of head on
other side offer resistance
second class levers
Axis at one end, force at the
other end, and resistance in the
middle.
EX: Wheelbarrow
A-R-F
A-R-F
2nd class lever
2nd class levers in the human body
levers involve movement when
you are lowering an object to
the floor.
3rd class lever
Axis at one end, force
in the middle and
resistance at the end.
Shoveling
A-F-R
A-F-R
3rd class levers
stability
depends on BOS in relations to COG
is COG higher in males or females
COG is higher in males due to proportions
base of support
part of the body in contact
with the supporting
surface, including
the area between
the feet.
rules of stability (5)
- lower the COG, the more stable an
object. - greater the mass, the more stable an object.
- A line representing the
pull of gravity from the
COG must pass through
the BOS in order for an
object to be stable. - Stability is increased as the BOS
is enlarged. - Increased friction between the
object’s BOS and the surface
increases stability.
4 Joints in the Shoulder Complex
Three joints of the shoulder girdle:
◦ Sternoclavicular
◦ Acromioclavicular
◦ Scapulothoracic
One joint of the shoulder joint:
◦ Glenohumeral
Only bony attachment of the upper extremity (UE) to the axial skeleton
sternoclavicular joint
Sternoclavicular (SC) Joint
both stable AND mobile
Saddle shape joint with 3
degrees of freedom (DOF)
Elevates (frontal plane)
Depresses (sagittal plane)
Rotates (transverse plane)
Joint tightness in SC or AC
joint will limit shoulder
motion by up to 60 degrees.
Stabilized by the SC ligament,
and other structures.
Plane joint between
acromion of scapula and the
clavicle.
Acromioclavicular Joint
Acromioclavicular Joint
Two degrees of freedom.
Joint tightness in SC or AC
joint will limit shoulder
motion by up to 60 degrees.
Stabilized primarily by the
AC ligament, as well as the
coracoacromial ligament and
the coracoclavicular
ligaments.
Not a “true” joint, but the
articulation between the
scapula and the thorax.
Scapulothoracic Joint
Scapulothoracic Joint
Scapula moves into
Elevation
Depression
Abduction (protraction)
Adduction (retraction)
Upward rotation
Downward rotation
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Grossly, 2:1 rhythm of
humerus to scapula
Of 180 degrees of abduction,
humerus is responsible for
about 120 degrees, scapula for
60 degrees
Glenohumeral Joint
Large ball on a relatively
small, flat “socket”
Three degrees of freedom
Mobility – lots!
Stability – mostly from
muscles
Glenohumeral ligaments
and coracohumeral ligament
concave convex rule
which surface is moving—
when a concave surface moves on a convex surface, the roll and glide occur in the same direction. Conversely, when a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the roll and glide occur in opposite directions.
Motions of the scapula
o Elevation and Depression
o Protraction and Retraction
o Upward and Downward Rotation
o Internal and External Rotation
o Tilt ↓
* Remember: normal distance
between medial borders of the
scapula is about 5 ‘’
